Traffic interdiction in Adams County leads to drug arrest
October 25th, 2011 by Ric Hanson
Sheriff’s officials in Adams County said Monday, a traffic interdiction program conducted on Highway 34 Sunday afternoon, led to the arrest of a Corning man. Officials say as a vehicle driven by Denise Carder, of Nodaway, was stopped and searched by a Ringgold County k-9 unit, information was received indicating a controlled substance could be found at the residence of Carder and 40-year old Martin Lee Grace, who authorities say lives in Corning.
Carder gave authorities permission to search her residence, during which a controlled substance was in fact, located. Martin Grace, who was already being detained in Adams County while an OWI investigation was underway, was placed under arrest for Possession of a Controlled Substance. He faces charges of Possession of Controlled Substance on Certain Real Property, and two-counts of Child Endangerment.
The case remains under investigation.
